The Vietnam pack was atrocious. Â£10 for 3 guns and 3-4 maps? I thought for that price it might have a little single player thrown in.

Well... I paid 5 for it during an EA special, so that's probably why it didn't look so bad to me. And some of the maps turned out to be fun.

From WikipediaBattlefield: Bad Company 2: Vietnam is an expansion pack for the game which takes place during the Vietnam War. It was released on December 18, 2010 for Microsoft Windows through the EA Store/Steam... The expansion pack contains 5 new maps, 6 new vehicles, and 15 new weapons.

it was actually 5 maps. It also had its own vehicles for them, and weapons that for the most part were not available in the original game. Those that were the same behaved entirely different. Then it was entirely new art set, plus they had to record all new audio for vietcong and us troops, then they added all the songs for you to play, all new building that had to be designed to be destroyed also.

$15 for the pack was just fine, you fail to realize that it was quite alot of content for the price, and was large than any booster pack, such as euro force, armored fury, and northern strike. Yet it cost the same.

Some people are just to immature to think about things sometimes.

People said the same thing when it was released. There are more changes going from BC2 to Vietnam than there are going from MW2 to Black Ops. BC2:Vietnam wasn't as good as it could have been (only 5 maps), but content wise it was completely worth $15.

I want to buy a game, and be done with it. I'll buy an expansion if it's good, sure. Heck, I'll buy two expansions if the game is good. But all this DLC... it complicates and bogs down the point of it all: relaxing and enjoying your purchase. I don't want to constantly feel like I have to sink more money into a game which is constantly becoming outdated by newer DLC.

Another point: Simple things like the Karkand map should be free. It's complete nonsense what they're doing. I'm considering not purchasing the game at this point.
